Alton Browns Buttermilk Waffles {Potluck Sunday}

One of our favorite meals at the Butler house is Breakfast for Dinner! It's usually my go to meal when I don't have anything planned. Breakfast is the one dinner meal that I know I can just throw together, plus I always have the ingredients on hand. I'm quite fond of my Waffle House Toasted Pecan Waffles recipe which happens to be my recipe of choice when it comes to waffles from scratch.

Lately I have been trying to incorporate more wheat into my family's diets. It's a work in progress so I am slowing trying to make the change. I have found some recipes work great with whole wheat flour and some don't. So really it's been trial and error to find the right balance.

Next time I go to the grocery store I'm going to look into purchasing "white whole wheat flour". White whole wheat flour is milled with white or albino wheat rather than the traditional red wheat. It retains many more nutrients than the traditionally bleached white flour. I think the white whole wheat would be a great comprimise. King Arthur has one so I will look into that. I understand it will be a bit more pricey, but worth it in th end.

I was poking around online and came across Alton Browns Buttermilk Waffle Recipe. His waffles are made with both white and whole wheat flour so I thought I would give it a try. I also found a video of Alton preparing these yummy waffles and the science behind them. He cracks me up on his show about how in depth he gets with all his recipes.



Next time I make waffles I'm going to try his tip about using an ice cream scoop to get the perfect amount of batter into my waffle iron. The verdict on Alton Browns Waffles is....... thumbs up good! You really couldn't even detect the wheat flour which is great. Because if I can taste it then I know the kids will. Instead the kiddos gobbled down the waffles.

Today I will bringing Alton Browns Yummy Buttermilk Waffles to our Sunday Potluck. Do you have a recipe you would like to contribute? If so then link directly to your post and not your homepage. Please include a link back to Mommy's Kitchen so everyone can see all of the delicious recipes. I would also like to say thank you to everyone who participates every Sunday. In usual fashion the full recipe is at the end of this post.

The batter was so light and so fluffy. My kiddos couldn't even tell that these waffles were made with half whole wheat flour. I am so glad that I now have two great homemade waffle recipes.

almost done.

Yum Perfect Waffles!!!!





Buttermilk Waffles

1 - cup all purpose flour
1 - cup whole wheat flour
1/2 - teaspoon baking soda
1 - teaspoon baking powder
1 - teaspoon salt
3 - tablespoons sugar
3 - eggs (beaten)
4 - tablespoons butter,melted
16 oz - buttermilk (room temperature)
1 - teaspoon vanilla extract
vegetable Spray (for waffle iron)

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. In a medium bowl whisk together the flours, soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl beat together eggs and melted butter, and then add the buttermilk and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter onto the iron according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Close iron top and cook until the waffle is golden on both sides and is easily removed from iron. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree F oven until ready to serve. Freeze any leftovers.

How to Freeze: Lay waffles out in a single on a baking sheet. Place in the freezer and flash freeze for about 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and store waffles in freezer bags. By flash freezing the waffles first this prevents them from sticking together. Perfect for busy school mornings.

Early Bird Review & Giveaway "Gooseberry Patch 101 Cupcake, Cookie & Brownie Recipes"

Good morning everyone and Happy Thursday!!!!! Today as one of the Gooseberry Patch Early Bird Reviewers" I am bringing you yet another yummy cookbook review. I have to say I have really enjoyed reading and cooking my way through all the new Gooseberry Patch Titles that have come my way.

Are you a Gooseberry Patch Cookbook Fan? If not just buy one of their wonderful cookbooks and you will instantly fall in love. Just when I think I have all the books I need Gooseberry Patch comes out with one more must have title. I bake a lot here at Mommy's Kitchen. Especially when it comes to the holidays. I just I can't help it Dessert is one of my favorite things.

Do you love to bake for family and friends? I do especially if the recipes are really easy to throw together. If there is one thing I cannot tolerate it's a recipe that is so complicated and calls for ingredients that I never have on hand or even heard of. That really takes the fun out of the whole baking experience.

The latest edition added to the Gooseberry Patch Series is 101 Cupcake, Cookie & Brownie Recipes. By the title alone you know this book has to be yummy. What I immediately loved about this new cookbook was all the eye popping color photos. Yes folks all of the recipes in this easy to read cookbook have mouthwatering photo's right alongside each recipe. My favorite thing is seeing photos in cookbooks. That's what really grabs my attention and gets me excited about making a certain recipe. 101 Cupcake, Cookie & Brownie recipes is broken down into five chapters.
  • Baking Tips
  • Tasty Little Cakes
  • Cookie Jar
  • Best Loved Brownies & Bars
  • Sweet Celebrations

Let's talk about some of the yummy recipes that are listed in this cookbook. Tasty Little Cakes is all about lots of different cupcake recipes. From regular sized or mini they have plenty of recipes. Here are few samples....... Grandma's Banana Cupcakes, Taffy Apple Cupcakes, Cookie Dough Cupcakes, Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes, Snicker Doodle Cupcakes and Double Maple Cupcakes.

Time to move on to the Cookie Jar Chapter. Everyone loves a good homemade cookie. With 101 Cupcake, Cookie and Brownie Recipes you can make some easy yet yummy cookie recipes. How about Tasty Cookie Lollipops or Homemade Fortune Cookies, Granny's Chocolate Fudge Cookies, Rainbow Swirl Cookies or Raspberry Almond Shortbread Cookies. Goodness!!!

Brownies and Bars dear lord this is my favorite chapter. Wouldn't you love to sink you teeth into a Divine Praline Brownie? I know I would and that one is on my list to make. Lets not stop on just one. There are recipes for Rocky Road Brownies, German Chocolate Cookie Bars, Peanut Butter Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Squares.

And lastly is Sweet Celebrations. This chapter is all about those special occasion treats. Baby Rattle Cupcakes, Be Mine Cherry Brownies, Easter Ice Cream Sandwiches, Bride & Groom Cookies, Tom the Turkey Cupcakes, Frosty the Snowman Cupcakes and much more. I can't wait to make the Scaredy - Cat Cookies for Halloween and Dad's Giant Cookie for Fathers Day. The kids are going to love helping me make that one.


Well in the end it came down to choosing what I wanted to bake. I am not kidding you this was a hard task as you can tell from my list above. Well the first one I chose was Zucchini Cupcakes W/Peanut Butter Icing on page 25.

Oh goodness these were so good. I made mini cupcakes and surprised the kids after school. Carson eyes about popped out of his head when he saw the on the counter. He said Chocolate Cupcakes. It didn't take him long for him to pop down two of these and give me the biggest smile.

Little does Carson know he is eating zucchini which he dislikes, but in these chocolaty cupcakes you can't even tell it was added. So a huge thumbs up for these cupcakes. Who would of thought to mix chocolate, zucchini and peanut butter in one. Love these........

For my second recipe I chose Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes on page 12. Don't they look so cute?

While I was away last week in LA with the kids we missed my husbands birthday. Pineapple Upside Down Cake is is favorite of cakes. So as soon as we arrived back home I made these yummy little mini pineapple upside down cupcakes.

My husband loved that they were bite size. He is very picky on his Pineapple Upside Down Cake, but he said these were perfect. The next recipe on my list to make is the Snicker doodle Cupcakes so be on the look out for that recipe.

Final Thoughts: I loved this yummy little cookbook!!!! Perfect photos and easy to read and simple recipes. Some even utilized a cake mix and y'all know how I love that. All of the recipes are kid and adult friendly so this cookbook is for everyone. Vickie and Jo Ann you picked another great title, but then you always do.

OK now for a little fun. Gooseberry Patch has been kind enough to send me an extra copy to share with one of my readers. Isn't that so generous of them? Vickie and Jo Ann are kinda of awesome like that!!!! 101 Cupcake, Cookie and Brownie Recipes is temporarily out of stock at Gooseberry Patch due to high demand.

White Bean & Cheddar Dip {Kid Friendly}

Everyone loves a good bean dip. Hot or cold they are the perfect dish for easy entertaining or for a quick snack. The usual bean dip around our house calls for pinto beans and it's usually a layered dip. I wanted to make a snack for the kids, so I decided on a healthier bean dip instead of one filled with lots of fattening ingredients.

I prepared and baked the bean dip before the kids arrived home from school. That way this would prevent any questioning of ingredients and anyone saying "I don't like that". Plus I could sneak just a little bit to go along with my lunch.

The bean dip recipe I chose to make was for a White Bean & Cheddar Dip. My kids love cheese so I thought this just might work. When I attended my First Bush's Beans Culinary Event in Napa , I was so excited to come home and really work on incorporating more bean recipes into my familiy's diet.

I wasn't worried about my husband because he loves beans just as much as I do. I knew my biggest hurdle would be with my children. After my trip and what I learned from Bush's Beans, I was really excited and ready for my challenge. I knew it was not going to be easy, but it's defiantly a positive work in progress. Just look at the photo above. That's Mackenzie and Gracie, the little girl I sit for.

They have no idea that they are eating a yummy dip that is not only good, but healthy as well. This photo makes me a very happy mom. You see just last year my daughter wouldn't touch beans unless I hid them. And the only bean dip Mackenzie ate was the Frito bean dip in those little cans. I'm so proud of her on how far she has come since I started on "Project Bean". It's so awesome she is even asking me to add beans to so many different salads.

Mackenzie's face was so funny when I told her she was eating a white bean dip. She said mommy it's so yummy and cheesy, I love it. Now Mr. Picky Pants Carson on the other hand turned his nose up to our delicious bean dip. But that's OK you have to know Carson to understand you see he dislikes so many things. But don't worry Carson cause you're eating beans my son and you just don't know it. Mommy is good at disguising them for you that you just don't catch on.

Here are a few examples Black Bean Brownies, White Bean Banana Bread and Kid Friendly Taco Burritos. It's all about baby steps with Carson. My next chore is to try and incorporate them into a healthy cookie and muffin recipe. I hope you enjoy this recipe and maybe you will even give it a try in your house. My goal is to not only bring you outstanding bean recipes, but also bean recipes that your kids will like as well. Let's get started and I will show you just how easy it is to make them yummy white bean dip.

Start by draining and rinsing one can of cannellini beans.

Combine the beans, chicken broth, garlic and cumin in a blender or a use hand blender with a blade attachment. Process until smooth. Add 3/4 cup of the grated cheese and blend by hand until combined. Place the bean mixture in a oven safe baking dish. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese all over the top. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.


Let cool and enjoy with tortilla chips, pita chips or vegetables.


White Bean & Cheddar Dip

1 - can (15.5 oz) cannelleli beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 - cup low sodium chicken broth
1 - garlic clove, minced
1/2 - tsp cumin
1 - 1 1/4 - cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the beans, chicken broth, garlic and cumin in a blender. I used my Cuisinart hand blender with the blade attachment. Process until smooth. Add 3/4 cup of the grated cheese and blend by hand until combined. Place the bean mixture in a oven safe baking dish. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese all over the top. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Serve with tortilla, pita chips, crackers or vegetables.

Sour Cream & Cherry Coffee Cake

Saturday I had asked everyone on my Face book fan page to help me choose a sweet treat for our upcoming open house. All of the choices were equally yummy, Glazed Lemon Bars, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake or a Sour Cream & Cherry Coffee Cake. Everyone added their input, but something kept pulling me towards the Sour Cream & Cherry Coffee Cake. So that was the recipe that I decided on.

I have made this coffee cake several times and it always turns out so good. If you love cherries than this coffee cake will be such a treat for you. One thing about this recipe that is probably going to surprise you is....... this coffee cake uses a white cake mix. You really can't tell at all by the photos.

I think the cake mix really gives this coffee cake the perfect sweetness, especially along with the tart from the cherries. If cherries aren't your thing then just use a different variety of pie filling. This recipe is so easy and takes no time to throw together. So for everyone who has been waiting for this recipe after my teaser photo on face book. This one's for you!

After dropping the pie filling by spoon fulls on top of the batter, make sure to swirl it around. If not the pie filling will settle in the middle.

Baked and ready for some icing. I think apple pie filling would be a yummy substitute for cherry. Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar all over the top just before baking. Then after it has cooled finish it off with some simple icing.



Cut into squares and Enjoy!!!





Sour Cream & Cherry Coffee Cake

1 - 18 oz package white cake mix
1 - 8 oz container sour cream
3 - eggs
1/4 - cup water
1 - 21 oz can Lucky Leaf cherry pie filling
1/4 - cup sliced almonds, optional

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a jelly-roll pan or 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Mix together the sour cream, eggs and water. Combine with the cake mix. Spread mixture into a greased baking dish and drop the pie filling over the batter in spoonfuls.

Make sure to swirl the pie filling throughout the batter. If not the pie filling will settle in the middle.Bake for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. Test with toothpick for doneness. Cool in pan and drizzle with a simple icing if desired.


Simple Icing

1 ½ - cups powdered sugar
2 - tablespoons milk
½ - teaspoon vanilla or almond extract

Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. Drizzle over coffee cake and garnish with sliced almonds.

Charleston Cheese Dip {Potluck Sunday}

If you love cheese and bacon then you're going to love this dip. I am a big cheese lover so it was no surprise that I chose this recipe while thumbing through Trisha Yearwoods new cookbook. Her Charleston Cheese Dip was one of the first recipes I saw when I purchased her book.

I mean with all that yummy cheese and bacon how can it be bad. I love sharp cheddar cheese so that was my first attraction to this recipe. It also calls for cream cheese and Monterey jack cheese. This recipe is like cheese heaven showered in bacon. Really that's the only way to describe it.

If you're looking for a great cookbook with easy home cooked flair, than this is the cookbook for you. My long standing favorite is Trisha's first cookbook, Georgia Cooking in a Oklahoma Kitchen. I really didn't think her second one could compare to her first, but I was wrong. There really hasn't been a recipe in either cookbook that I haven't like.

For New Years Eve I made her Hot Corn Dip which is over the top good. I could literally sit and eat that stuff with a spoon. Both of these dips would be great for a Super bowl get together. These dips are defiantly not chic food because believe me even the guys loved this stuff. If you ask me I would make both of these dips because it is just too hard to choose.

Today I'm bringing Trisha's Charleston Cheese Dip to our Sunday Potluck. Do you have a recipe you would like to contribute? If so then link directly to your post and not your homepage. Please include a link back to Mommy's Kitchen so everyone can see all of the delicious recipes. I would also like to say thank you to everyone who participates every Sunday.




Charleston Cheese Dip

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 - 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1 - cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 - cup grated Monterey jack cheese
2 - green onions, finely chopped
Dash of cayenne pepper
8 - Ritz crackers, crushed
8 - slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey jack cheese, green onions and cayenne pepper. Transfer the mixture to a shallow baking dish.

Top mixture with cracker crumbs and bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the pan from the oven and top with the bacon. Serve immediately with corn chips, bagel chips or crackers.

Frigidaire Kids (good-for-you) Cooking Academy in Hollywood & Meatloaf Cupcakes

Hi everyone I'm so glad to be back home from my blogging venture. Earlier in the week the kids and I were flown out to Hollywood to attend the Frigidaire Kids' (good-for-you) Cooking Academy. On January 18th Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner launched the Kids' Cooking Academy, an online cooking academy where you can get recipes and how-to videos to inspire families to get into the kitchen and cook together. I was so excited to be one of seven bloggers selected for this wonderful opportunity.

I think my kids were even more excited than I was. While in Hollywood the kids got to spend the afternoon cooking in the kitchen with Celebrity Mom Jennifer Garner and Chef Mary Sue Milliken. All of the children prepared some pretty yummy and healthy kid friendly recipes. I was so impressed and proud of Mackenzie because she tried and loved so many of the recipes.

Did you know that one in five kids in the United States is growing up in poverty? Through Save the Children's Change Program, they are ensuring children living in poverty in rural America have access to nutritious snacks, like fresh fruits and whole grains. With continued support from Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner their helping give children the foundation they need for a lifetime of good health.

Jennifer stated that it is so important to teach kids how to feed their bodies. You can’t learn, you can’t pay attention in school, and you can’t be active if your brain isn’t well-fed and if your body isn’t healthy. I couldn't agree with her more. With Frigidaire's new online cooking academy parents and children will have the resources to learn how to prepare healthy and nutritious snacks and meals at home.

The more you let your children help out in meal preparation, the more willing they are to try new foods. Cooking together is also a great way to spend time together and the perfect opportunity to learn so many different things. I invite you to take a peek through my photos of the Frigidaire Kids (good for you) Cooking Academy Launch.

We arrived at Smashbox Studios at about 11:30 am. The kids were so excited when they walked in the door. They immediately wanted me to take their picture in front of all the magazine covers posted all over the wall. Mackenzie was so excited to see a cover of Miley Cyrus.

We headed to the set around noonish and got started. Each of the kids received their very own work stations, chef coats, aprons and chef hats. All of them looked so cute.


The first recipe the kids prepared was a Mexican Chopped Salad. Jennifer went around the room and spoke to each of the children about the recipes they were making. She really is so gracious and down to earth. She told me how she likes to include her daughter Violet in the kitchen when she cooks.

She moved on to Carson and complimented him on his stirring skills. Of course Carson said nothing and just looked at her. I explained to her how shy he was and she completely understood. (Carson what were you thinking that's Jennifer Garner) LOL

Mackenize was so proud of her salad that she ate half of it before it was time to clean up and move onto the next recipe. She said mom you really need to make this salad.


The highlight of Mackenzie's afternoon was when Jennifer came over and helper her pipe on the Mashed Potato Frosting on her Meatloaf Cupcakes.


One of the gentlemen at the event was nice enough to take a photo of all of us. Thank you to whomever you were.

Carson and Kenzie are showing off their Charred Vegetable Salsa they made. This was really yummy it consisted of roasted roma tomatoes, roasted tomatillos, roasted jalapenos, red onions, garlic, cilantro, lime and salt & pepper.

Finally a little bit of a smile!

All of the recipes the children prepared were Charred Vegetable Salsa, Mexican Chopped Salad, Meatloaf Cupcakes and for dessert a Pear Ginger Crumble. After the event was over we were treated to a nice lunch from recipes prepared by Mary Sue Milliken.

Here we are Jyl from "Mom it forward", Jennifer Garner, Ann Marie from "This Mama Cooks", Me, Pamela from "For the Love of Cooking", Mandy from "Mommy Mandy" & Christine from "Dates to Diapers". Christine thank you for letting me hold your little guy Timothy while you ate he really was the sweetest baby.


Thank you Mary Sue for showing us how to prepare some yummy and healthy recipes. I can't wait to try all of them plus a few recipes from your cookbook.


Parents can join the Kids' Cooking Academy and, when you do (between 1/18/11 and 4/25/11) Frigidaire will donate $1 to Save the Children with a minimum of $35,000 and a maximum of $40,000 to help make sure that more children have access to healthy foods.

Everyone who participates will be entered for a chance to win the daily prize, a kids' apron set and the grand prize: a new Frigidaire Double Oven Range! You can enter at Maketimeforchange or Make Time for Change Face book Page . Click here for the official rules.


Mackenzie favorite dish that she made at the cooking event was the meatloaf cupcakes. She was so excited that it was her first request to help me with when we arrived home. I caught myself without peppers so I improvised and mixed shredded cheddar cheese into the potatoes before frosting the meatloaf cupcakes. Mackenzie loved the red bell pepper ones she had in Hollywood.
Pretty and Yummy!!!
